Save Grannies. Want to keep it open to mountain biking? Write in and ride it

We’ve heard substantiated rumours that the District of North Van is considering making Grannies a hiking only trail. It’s one of the purest and oldest mountain bike trails left on the Shore and it’s in great shape. Get out and ride it! #savegranniestrail #digger #nsmba

Besides Kennedy Falls, why would someone go to Fromme to hike? I've always found it's newbies/out of towners who try to hike at Fromme and they likely are not having a good time on the bike trails. Totally understand trail runners/walkers, dog walkers etc. going there for the BP or up Mountain Highway and I have no elitism or issue sharing trails with those folks... just always found it odd to see people in hiking gear going nowhere.

There are some great potential hikes on Fromme using the network of semi overgrown skidders from the logging days that would be much more enjoyable than going up/down Grannies.

Not every hike needs to be to some great attraction or view point. Some people just want to get out in the trees for a stroll.

I'd rather see hikers using the climbing route than have a classic like Grannies made hiking only. I don't think the staffer at the DNV that is considering this knows the shitstorm their in for if they try to take Grannies.

"Fortunately, the rumor you have heard about Grannies is only that - a rumor.

We can confirm that the District Parks Department has not engaged in any discussions regarding the future of this trail, and we do not currently have any plans regarding its future beyond maintaining its current status."

I asked for some clarification and specificity on a couple things. xy9ine has it: you can put your pitchforks down for the moment. I'm glad everyone keeps them in good shape though! Never know when we're gonna need 'em.

· The District Parks Department plans on maintaining Grannies’ current status as a sanctioned, permitted, bike primary trail for the foreseeable future"

· To the best of my knowledge, there are no other departments actively engaged in works or plans in that area.
